Ryan Smith presents to the Kansas City Ruby Users Group on Heroku: why it’s wonderful for deploying Ruby on Rails applications, how to set up a new application and deploy it to Heroku in minutes, and how to use Heroku add-ons to support search.

  • it’s a good overview, but I would like to correct a couple of “mistakes” if I may….

    1) “heroku logs” from the command line will give you the production log

    2) add the following to your initializers/compass.rb file to prevent SASS from trying to write to your filesystem

    Sass::Plugin.options[:never_update] = true

    Make sure you add it right before the line that reads:

    Compass.configure_sass_plugin!

    Anyway, nice video, I’ve never used the websolr addon, but I think i will give it a try today

  • production.rb:
    Sass::Plugin.options[:never_update] = true

    Nothing else is needed, no compass initializer! Credit to comment by Ivo Dancet on: http://mentalized.net/journal/2010/04/06/heroku_rails_3_and_sass/
